At Mediaite, ‘something of a tall, large guy’ is the new black

Mediaite pretty het up about strapping black Marine vet who prevented “police brutality” at Occupy Wall Street by, er, intimating he’d get violent with the NYPD. Or something.

Lawrence O’Donnell does fair to middling imitation of a normal American by helpfully noting that “honor” is “a Marine word.”

Too bad they didn’t get one of those NYPD guys on to give his side of the story, even pixelated with a voice distorter so he didn’t get in sh*t from IA. That would be too “fair and balanced.”
